Where These Pieces Drop
14 of this set's 33 pieces drop from 9 encounters in 3 instances. The rest come from vendors, quests, crafting or world drops, which the dungeon journal does not record.
9 bosses in Heart of Fear, Mogu'shan Vaults and Terrace of Endless Spring drop pieces of this set. Each instance below carries its Adventure Guide entry, where its entrance is, and what each boss drops.
The Sha of Fear has corrupted the grand empress of the mantid. Her increasingly erratic and paranoid commands have driven the Klaxxi--the keepers of mantid culture--to take aggressive action. Because they are few in number, the Klaxxi are reluctantly willing to accept outside help in destroying the empress and purging their race of the sha's negative influence.
The entrance is in Dread Wastes at 38.7, 35.1 (/way #422 38.7 35.1).
Heart of Fear entrance
Imperial Vizier Zor'lok drops 2 pieces of this set (Legs, Waist) on 10 Player (Heroic) and 25 Player (Heroic). Adventure Guide map pin: 69.0, 74.5 on the Heart of Fear map. Zor'lok shrieks his proclamations so they're heard throughout the sprawling mantid palace. He is the Voice of the Empress, and his words alone inspire the insectoid race's warriors to give their lives without question. Unwaveringly loyal, Zor'lok will stop at nothing to defend his beloved matriarch, regardless of the corruption within her.
Garalon drops 1 piece of this set (Head) on 10 Player (Heroic) and 25 Player (Heroic). Adventure Guide map pin: 66.5, 16.8 on the Heart of Fear map. It may be time to reconsider stepping on bugs. Don't make fun of this hulking behemoth's tiny wings; that'll just make him angry.
Amber-Shaper Un'sok drops 1 piece of this set (Shoulder) on 10 Player (Heroic) and 25 Player (Heroic). Adventure Guide map pin: 44.1, 73.7 on the Heart of Fear map. Eager to please his empress, Un'sok has produced several innovative concoctions. Yet this brilliant young alchemist's proximity to the mantid queen has allowed the sha's negative energies to take root in his mind. Now, Un'sok's overwhelming fear of failure drives him to create increasingly deadlier weapons.
The mogu, proud of their supremacy, kept lengthy records of their accomplishments within a great complex of vaults. The construction of these vast chambers predate any pandaren written records, shrouding their depths in mystery. Rumors once circulated of a mighty army locked within; for this reason, the vaults were the first target of the ancient pandaren rebellion, and they have been sealed ever since the mogu empire was overthrown.
The entrance is in Kun-Lai Summit at 59.5, 39.3 (/way #379 59.5 39.3).
Mogu'shan Vaults entrance
Gara'jal the Spiritbinder drops 2 pieces of this set (Feet, Wrist) on 10 Player (Heroic) and 25 Player (Heroic). Adventure Guide map pin: 77.9, 34.5 on the Mogu'shan Vaults map. Leader of the Zandalar trolls' assault on the vaults, Gara'jal is determined to crack open this trove of ancient mystery and bring back whatever arcane power and knowledge he can find. Gifted with dark talents and surrounded by a loyal cadre of Zandalar mystics, he has broken through the outer walls and will not rest until the vaults belong to him.
The Spirit Kings drops 1 piece of this set (Shoulder) on 10 Player (Heroic) and 25 Player (Heroic). Adventure Guide map pin: 18.9, 51.6 on the Mogu'shan Vaults map. Ancient records tell of these legendary rulers, powerful mogu who carved an empire from the very rock of Pandaria. Their names still cause the land to tremble: Zian of the Endless Shadow, Meng the Demented, Qiang the Merciless, and Subetai the Swift. Some say their spirits lurk in the vaults, lost in ghostly memories of battle and glory.
Elegon drops 1 piece of this set (Hands) on 10 Player (Heroic) and 25 Player (Heroic). Adventure Guide map pin: 20.7, 51.2 on the Mogu'shan Vaults map. Dedicated to the advancement of their empire, the mogu salvaged and repurposed titan technology to generate untold power in the depths of this ancient complex. Why these energies have been focused into the cold will of a celestial dragon is a mystery that lies at the very heart of the vaults.
Hidden high in the mountains, the Terrace of Endless Spring is the sacred center of the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. Its peaceful fountains are said to have the power to heal and rejuvenate, but when the Sha of Fear attacked, many of the complex's guardians turned on each other in fits of terror.
The entrance is in The Veiled Stair at 48.1, 61.0 (/way #433 48.1 61.0).
Terrace of Endless Spring entrance
Protectors of the Endless drops 4 pieces of this set (Wrist, Feet) on 10 Player (Heroic) and 25 Player (Heroic). Adventure Guide map pin: 76.6, 48.9 on the Terrace of Endless Spring map. When the Sha of Fear invaded the Terrace of Endless Spring, three venerated jinyu protectors were corrupted, and they betrayed the other mortal sentinels, slaying them all. The twisted guardians have now turned their attention to any intruders who might interrupt the sha's attack on the area's last defenses.
Tsulong drops 2 pieces of this set (Waist, Hands) on 10 Player (Heroic) and 25 Player (Heroic). Adventure Guide map pin: 69.0, 49.3 on the Terrace of Endless Spring map. Legends speak of a spiraling, golden serpent that can sometimes be seen high in the sky, basking in the sunlight above the clouds. The few who claim to have observed it themselves say the creature is fiercely protective of the terrace.
Lei Shi drops 1 piece of this set (Waist) on 10 Player (Heroic) and 25 Player (Heroic). Adventure Guide map pin: 53.9, 49.3 on the Terrace of Endless Spring map. For countless years, this friendly water spirit frolicked in the Fountains of Endless Spring with childlike wonder and glee. When fighting suddenly broke out in this peaceful place, Lei Shi saw the crystal-clear water turn cloudy and murky, and terror fell over her mind.
